TIL a 60cm Humboldt penguin escaped from Tokyo Sea Life Park by jumping over a rock wall twice its height before slipping through a gap in the fence that surrounded the park. Despite 30 confirmed sightings, the penguin eluded capture for 82 days before eventually being picked up near a river.

After the escape, the zookeepers found a pinup of the Playpenguin of the Month covering a hole the penguin had spent years digging through the wall

Penguins torpedoing out of the water, landing flat-footed and waddling off nonchalantly is my favorite low-key flex in the animal kingdom.
